Lamborn Book Launch

Alliance Historical Society launches the publication of its latest book, History of Lexington Township, by Levi L. Lamborn. Copies of the book will be available for purchase.

It would be as hard to overestimate the impact of Levi Lamborn on
Alliance as it would to overstate his interests and varied careers.
Physician, newspaperman, horticulturalist, politician, banker, and real
estate developer only cover the highlights of his long life. With this
book, the Alliance Historical Society would like to secure his place as
our first local historian. Beginning in January 1873, Lamborn wrote a
series of 34 articles recounting the labors, events, and people who
shaped the first seven decades of our community. Lamborn's "History of
Lexington Township" was published in the Alliance Weekly Local, the
precursor to today's Alliance Review. All articles, many based on the
accounts of participants and their children, are collected in this book.
